S&S Midweek Challenge

The idea today is to create a card using two or more complimentary colors. This was indeed challenging. I decided to use purple/yellow. The DP and CS are from my stash, the golden rhinestones from Studio 18. When I saw this giraffe stamp (she is dressed in her party clothes), I had to have it. Unfortunately, there is no clue on the stamp as to where it came from ;(

She is stamped with brown ink and her hat and skirt are lightly colored using a purple pencil.
Thanks for visiting!

Today we are making cards with a Christmas/Winter theme. I recently purchased this Memory Box stamp called "Winter Collage" and this is the first card I've created with it. The dotted DP is by Graphic45, green CS Bazzill, I used colored pencils for the branches, leaves, and bird, and chalked the entire stamp to match the green in the paper with chalk by Inkadinkado. The word 'Winter" was left unchalked to make it stand out.

Our Daily Bread Designs Challenge

To celebrate summer the color challenge is to use cool colors--blue, violet, green--on a card. Neutral colors can be used for contrast. This card is beachy and cool even though some of the digital stamps are reddish.

I hope you like it!

Today we are creating a card with a monkey on it ;) Who doesn't love the monkey enclosure at the zoo? My favorite monkey is the softly colored, sweet-faced douc langur. This challenge stumped me because I could not remember having a stamp or other image of a monkey in my collection...until I searched the "odds-and-ends" stash. Here is my card.

(Belated) S&S Midweek Challenge

Well, this is one week too late, but I finally found a way to use one of my new brads! The color challenge last week was to use blue and yellow on a card. Those cute brads had been lying on my desk for weeks waiting for me. I have also begun using my pile of alphabet stickers per Sandy's advice. I have these small letters in oodles of colors!

S&S Midweek Challenge

The challenge this week is to create a card using "Things with Wings". I made this one as a thank you card for a friend who gave me a grab bag of patterned paper, embellishments, and stickers she purchased at a garage sale. She knows I make cards for OWH and wow, she found quite a stash! She also loves birds, so I knew this design would work perfectly.
The background DP is from Graphis45, can't remember where the beautiful bird came from.

On a Family Farm in Louisiana

The Annual Family Reunion has been held on the first Sunday of June since...no one remembers. I figure for at least 50 years.
The Farm is lovely and peaceful and loads of work beginning at sun-up.
This year, I helped with blueberry sorting and collecting eggs from the hen house. Those are the easy chores.
Then there's the reward of eating fresh fruits and vegetables and scrambled eggs. Heaven!
